The Smart PV Optimizer is a DC-DC converter installed on the rear of PV modules in a PV system. It
manages the maximum power point (MPP) of each PV module to improve the energy yield of the
PV system, and performs functions such as module-level shutdown and module-level management.

2. Install the optimizer based on the selected installation mode.
Properly plan the installation position of optimizers to ensure that the cables between the
optimizer and the PV module and between adjacent optimizers can be properly connected, and the
maximum communication distance between the optimizer and the solar inverter is within 350 m.
1. After determining the installation position of the optimizer, remove the SN label from the
optimizer and attach it to the physical layout template. For details, see instructions on the
back of the physical layout template.

3Installing the Optimizer Cables
1. Connect the optimizer
input (IN) cable to
the PV module
connection box.
2. Connect the positive probe of the multimeter to the positive
output terminal of the optimizer and the negative probe to the
negative output terminal. Check the output voltage and
resistance of a single optimizer.

Suggestions
0.9 kΩ ≤ R1 ≤ 1.1 kΩ
The optimizer is normal.
N/A
R1 < 0.9 kΩ
If the probes of the
multimeter are correctly
connected, the optimizer is
faulty.
Replace the optimizer.
1.1 kΩ < R1

The sunlight is weak.
The optimizer input is not
connected.

The optimizer output is
connected to the PV
module output.

The optimizer is faulty.
1. Measure the resistance when the sunlight is
sufficient.
2.
Connect the optimizer input power cables.
3.
Correct the optimizer cable connection.
Connect the optimizer input power cables to
the output cables of the PV module.
4.
If the resistance is still abnormal, replace
the optimizer.
•The voltage V1 is 0 V.
•The resistance R1 is 1 kΩ (±10%).
If the probes are reversely connected,
the measured resistance is less than
the resistance measured when the
probes are correctly connected, which
might be less than 0.9 kΩ.
Ensure that the input (IN) and output (OUT) cables of the optimizer are correctly connected. If
they are reversely connected, the device may be damaged.

3. Check that the optimizer input is properly connected, and connect the output power cables
to the optimizer. Measure the PV string resistance when the sunlight is sufficient.

Common Exception Scenarios
The probes are
reversely connected.
The measured value
R2 is less than the
resistance measured
when the probes are
correctly connected.
The sunlight is weak:
1.1 kΩ < R1
The optimizer input
is not connected:
1.1 kΩ < R1
The optimizer
output is connected
to the PV module
output:
1.1 kΩ < R1
The measurement precision of the PV string output resistance depends on the resistance setting
of the multimeter. Select the lowest resistance setting that can meet the measurement
requirements.

4. Connect cables between the PV string and the solar inverter.
4Power-On Commissioning
1. The physical layout of the optimizers must be provided so that you can easily locate faulty
optimizers based on the physical layout diagram.
2. The physical layout of the optimizers must be provided to use the optimizer disconnection
detection function. After optimizer disconnection detection is performed, the locating result
can be viewed on the Optimizer layout page.
3. Choose Maintenance > Subdevice management > Auto search to add an optimizer. Create
a physical layout on the Physical layout design screen. For details, see the corresponding
solar inverter quick guide or FusionSolar App Quick Guide . The solar inverter quick guide is
delivered with the solar inverter. You can scan the QR code to obtain FusionSolar App Quick

a. If R is infinite, an open circuit occurs in the PV string or
the cables are connected to different PV strings. Rectify
the PV string open-circuit fault and correctly group the PV
string cables.
b. If R4 is less than R3, A is the positive cable of the PV
string, and B is the negative cable of the PV string. If R3 is
less than R4, B is the positive cable of the PV string, and A
is the negative cable of the PV string. Attach correct cable
labels.
c. The resistance of each pair of PV module and optimizer is
1 kΩ. The total resistance of a PV string is 1 kΩ times the
number of optimizers. If the total resistance is 10 kΩ, the
number of optimizers in the PV string is 10.
Note: The total resistance of a PV string is (R3 + R4)/2.

Check whether PV modules are severely blocked when PV
strings are connected in parallel.
2.
If the fault persists, contact your dealer or Huawei technical
support.
Abnormal output

1.
When the sunlight is normal, perform the optimizer search
function again.
2. Check whether the optimizer output extension cable is correct
(positive connector at one end and negative connector at the
other).
3.
Check whether the PV string is correctly connected to the
inverter or whether there is a breakpoint in the PV string.
4.
If the fault persists, contact your dealer or Huawei technical
support.
If the system has change requirements, such as adding, deleting, and replacing an optimizer,
adjusting the physical position of an optimizer, or adjusting the PV string connected to the solar
inverter input, power off the inverter and wait for 5 minutes before performing the change
operation to avoid human injuries. After the change is performed, the optimizer search process
must be performed again and the physical layout diagram must be updated. Otherwise, the
networking is incomplete, optimizer faults cannot be located, or the system fails.

Description
Off-grid No Yes
Optimizers are not supported.
On/Off-
grid Yes No
After the power grid fails, the system switches to the off
-grid
mode and is powered off at night. If the power grid is not
recovered on the next day, the system cannot start
automatically when the irradiance is normal. After the power
grid recovers and the irradiance is normal, the system
automatically starts.

•
After the power grid fails, the system switches to the off-
grid
mode. If the battery end-of-
discharge SOC is greater than or
equal to 5%, the system shuts down at night when the SOC
reaches the lower limit. If the power grid is not recovered on
the next day, the system can black start through battery
when the irradiance is normal.

made in the preparation of this document to ensure accuracy of the contents, but all
statements, information, and recommendations in this document do not constitute a
warranty of any kind, express or implied.
Only qualified and trained electrical technicians are allowed to operate the device. Operation
personnel should understand the composition and working principles of the grid-tied PV
power system and local regulations.
Carefully read this document prior to installation to get familiar with product information
and safety precautions. Huawei shall not be liable for any consequence caused by violation of
the storage, installation, and operation regulations specified in this document and the solar
inverter user manual.
Use insulated tools when installing the device. For personal safety, wear proper personal
protective equipment (PPE).
If an optimizer does not connect to any other device, connect the OUT+ and OUT–ports of
the optimizer respectively to the IN+ and IN–ports to protect the terminals from water.
It is recommended that the positive and negative cables (PV+/PV–) between the optimizer
and the solar inverter be placed side by side to avoid cable winding.
The input end of the optimizer should be connected to the PV module connection box, and
the output end to the adjacent optimizer or a solar inverter. Do not reversely connect the
input and output cables. Otherwise, the optimizer may be damaged.
The screenshots are for reference only. The actual screens may vary. Local physical layout
using the solar inverter is used as an example. For details about the remote physical layout
using the management system, see the FusionSolar App Quick Guide .

The optimizer uses Staubli MC4 DC connectors. Ensure that the DC connectors to be connected
are of this model. If the DC connectors to be connected are not of the Staubli MC4 model, the
connector compatibility report and third-party lab (TUV, VED, or Bureau Veritas) report from
the DC connector manufacturer must be available. Using incompatible DC connectors may
result in serious consequences. The resulting device damage is beyond the warranty scope.
The optimizer is not supported in the pure off-grid ESS networking. Otherwise, the system may
fail to start.
Partial configuration scenario: The total open-circuit voltage of the PV modules in a PV string
cannot exceed the maximum input voltage of the solar inverter under any condition.
